Ohio Draft Horse Show

08/09/2026

To make a show it takes wonderful exhibitors and a great show staff and that is exactly what we had this past week at the OhIo State Fair! From our secretary Chelsea Ball, photographer Ken Seims, announcer Dave Rice, ribbon and award organizer Mary Muller, assistant in show office and gate duties Bill Clark, ring master Ura Hershberger, parking coordinator and gate duties Steve Wickersham, traffic control to anything asked of Kevin Broadsword and Gary Myers. As we plan for 2027 stay tuned for updates! Thank you to all exhibitors, sponsors and show staff!!
